ASTONISHING FACTS.
The Wonderfrl Productive Capacity of the
United States.

Few people who are not specially
posted on questions of this character
have a definite and correct idea of the
progress that has been made in the de.
velopment of the material resources Of
the United States. The following in.
teresting item will supply them witt
something like correct idea in general
upon this subject
The value of the products of the vari
Gus industries of the United States is
seven times the total value of our for.
eign commerce.; nearly three times the
value of the foreign commerce of Great
Britain and Ireland, and five times the
total foreign commerce of France, in
GLIDING in each case both imports and
exports.
The total value of the products of
industry in the United States is a little
more than twice the total value of the
exports of merchandise of all the coun-
tries of Europe.
The United States is now the largest
manufacturing country on the globe.
The value of products of American
manufacture consumed at home is five
times the value of the manufactured
products of Great Britain and Ireland
exported to all other countries, and
more than fourteen times the value of
the exports of manufactured products
from France to all other countries.
The relative values of the foreign and
internal trade is represented as follows:
Ninety-nine per cent. of all the coal
mined in this country, ninety-fve per
cent. of all the iron and steel products,
ninety-five per cent. of the products of
the leather industry, more than ninety
nine per cent. of the manufactures of
wool, ninety-tive per cent. of the pro-
ducts of the cotton manufactures, more
than ninety-nine per cent. of the manu-
features of silk, and seventy-nine per
cent. of the manufactures of glass,
glassware, earthenware and stoneware
are consumed in the United States.
These figures show that the wonder
full development of productive capacity
within the past twenty-five years has
been met by very nearly correspond
ing increase in our power of consump-
ton, indicating not only the growth in
population. but still more marked
growth in the ability of the people to
purchase what ever contributes to their
ease, comfort, enjoyment or prosperity.

the man and the coins were taken be-
fore the King. When the King, who
was Christian, heard the mans story
and found that he had been asleep for
three hundred and nine years, he
looked on the man as supernatural and
offered to resign the throne in his favor.
The man declined, and stated that all
he wished was to be allowed to return
10 his companions in the cave. The
King thereupon accompanied him.
With the King were IA hawk and dog,

The original six friends, the Altal
Azizan ana the shepherd, but the King
and the dog and the hawk and the
deer, all went off to sleep and never
awoke again for some seven hundred
years, when they were awakened by the
arrival of the Chahar Var, or the four
friends of the prophet-that is, Omar,
Osman. Abubakr and Ali, who, repeat
ing the Mohammedan creed, at once
awoke the sleepers. The latter got up,
repeated the creed and then fell asleep
again and there they still remain.
All this was told me by the Sayeds in
the cave, and they pointed triumph
antly to the relics in proof of their
story. Holding our lighted candles be-
tween the palings of the wooden screen,
which debars nearer approach to the
sleepers, we were shown some clothes
N
mon sheet with dark colored fringed
cloth above it, which was said to cover
the sleepers. We asked if we were
allowed to look under the cloth, BIT,
that, they said, was impossible, when
they themselves, they said, knew not
what was there. One man had once
tried to look and was Immediately
struck blind; but that if we doubted
there (pointing in the direction) was
the dog and the deer and the hawk. "
Holding the candles to the right we
could then see indistinctly something
looking like dried bodies of some ami
mails propped against the wall. They
were very small. The first, said to be
and the deer few inches higher; but
it was impossible to say in such light
what animals they were. The bones
of the legs were visible-in fact, the
dogs legs had fallen off, which rather
told against its being asleep; but the
body seemed to be covered with dry
skin, and yet, on the strength of these

Intelligence of a Turnip.

Some time ago an English gentleman
found large turnip in his field of the
shape of mans head, and with the
resemblance of the features of man.
Struck with curiosity, he had cast
made of it, and sent the cast to u
phrenologist, stating that it was taken
from the head of celebrated profess
sor, and requested an opinion thereon.
After sitting in judgment, it was re-
ported that it denoted man of acute
mind and deep research. that he had
the organ of quick perception. and
also of perseverance, with another that
indicated credulity. The opinion was
transmitted to the owner of the cast,
with letter requesting, as particular
favor, that he would send him the
head: To this he politely replied he
would willingly do so, but he was pre-
vented, as he and his family had eaten
it the day before with their mutton at
dinner.-N. Y. Sun.

FRANCIS BACON.
History of the Man Who, According to
Some, Wrote Shakespeare's Works.

History of the Man Who, According to
Some, Wrote Shakespeare's Works.
Francis Bacon was born in 1861. He
was thus Shakespeare senior by three
years. His father was Lord-Keeper of
the Great Seal, an eminent scholar,
patron of art and literature. The
mothers of great men have often been
remarked upon, and Bacon's was en-
inently worthy of her distinguished
son; an estimable lady, pious. shrewd,
af1ectionate and, in the best sense of
that age, accomplished; learned among
learned women, capable authoress,
yet motherly among mothers. Bacon
was the son of old age; precOcious, but
notephemerally so, for his genius went
on expanding through all his life. His
imagination, differing from that of
many other men, deepened. heightened.
widened with his years. He had ample
access in his fathers home to books
student of Cambridge at the age of
twelve, he was at sixteen wiser than
his teachers. In 1876 he entered Gray's
Inn on his legal career. Next wear he
was sent to Paris as one of the suite of
Sir Amias Paulet, the English Ambassa-
dor. He travelled on the continent with
the French court, and became familiar
with French, Italian and Spanish. On
his return to England he bore dispatch
10 the Queen from the Ambassador, in
which he is referred to in the most flat
tering terms. In his twenty-fourth
year he entered Parliament. and soon
exercised remarkable ascendancy.
The author of many beneficial meas
ures, he was at all times the chosen
representative of the Commons in their
conflicts with the Peers and the Crown.
His wisdom, patriotism and eloquence
were conspicuous. Careful of the in
terests of the people, he was at the
same time loyal in his allegiance to the
Crown. His powers of persuasion were
uniformly employed in furthering and
reconciling the welfare of all concerned.
johnson bears tribute to his eloquence.
There happened" he says, Gin my
time one noble speaker. who was full
of gravity in his speaking. His Ian
guage, where he could spare or pass by
Il jest. was nobly censorous. No man
ever spoke more neatly. more weight
lv, or suffered less emptiness. less idle
ness in what he uttered. No member
of his speech but consisted of his own
graces. His hearers could not cough
or look aside from him without loss.
He commanded when he spoke. and
had his Judges angry or pleased at his
devotion. No man had their affections
more in his power The fear of every
man who heard him was that he should
make an end. Nineteenth Centurv.
